One Day. Many Communities. A World of Difference.
A little over 2 years ago georeyna a geocacher in Houston, TX asked a simple question - What could happen if geocachers around Texas came together on one day to make their communities cleaner? Based on that simple question, Texas Geocaching Association (TXGA) created an event named CITO Across Texas in conjunction with World Cleanup Day.
Geocachers throughout Texas held cleanup events on the third Saturday in September. Each event is locally organized, but together they became part of something much bigger. CITO Across Texas was born!
The results have been tremendous. During 2024 and 2025:
More than 50 CITO events were held across Texas.
More than 700 volunteers participated.
Thousands of pounds of trash were removed from parks, trails, waterways, neighborhoods, and other public places.
In 2026, we want to take the next step. From CITO Across Texas to CITO Across the World We are inviting geocachers everywhere to join us for CITO Across the World on Saturday, September 19, 2026. Our goal is to hold at least 100+ coordinated CITO events.
25+ Events in Texas
50+ Events in the other US States
13+ Events in Canada (Each Province and Territory)
50+ Events in foreign countries
With the support of the worldwide geocaching community, we believe we can meet—and far exceed—that goal. Imagine hundreds or even thousands of geocachers working in their own communities on the same day. Every event may be local, but together our efforts can create a truly global impact.
